I guess bonus that the US can officially undermine international law, instead of doing it on the DL like most countries do

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules

The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

A lot of stuff Trump does makes sense when you view it from the lens of he wants to one up Obama (who also won the NPP, which was also bullshit).

I’m assuming Trump thought he would win for “stopping” the Iran war and got jealous when he didn’t.

"Ripping out these protected bike lanes against the will of Toronto city council is a colossal waste of $48 million. The province’s own experts know it will not ease traffic congestion, it will put people’s lives at risk…” One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen any politician do to any city.

I do love that they make this comparison but not in the way they think they are. Both are "terrorist attacks" (blowback from generations of violent behavior directed towards Arab peoples) that are used to justify mass murder.

Apparently Ben "I Love Ai" Affleck's new movie is just a remake of Akira Kurosawa's High & Low. Instead of watching that you should watch Spike Lee's HIGHEST 2 LOWEST which is a remake of High & Low that came out last year & it absolutely rules & it actively says "Fuck Ai" every chance it gets.

One of the first things Trump did in Feb. 2017 was set up an office in DHS to *exclusively* publicize crimes committed by immigrants — just as the Nazis used Der Stürmer to publish a special section only highlighting “Jewish crimes.” See this article from 2017: www.thewrap.com/der-sturmer-...

& thewrap.com
But mass-slander-by-anecdote has a long tradition. As The Atlantic explains:
In The Nazi Conscience, Duke historian Claudia Koonz notes that the Nazi newspaper Der Sturmer ran a feature called "Letter Box," which published readers' accounts of Jewish crimes. When the Nazis took power, the German state began doing something similar.
Frustrated by the failure of most Germans to participate in a boycott of Jewish businesses in April 1933, Adolf Hitler's government began publicizing Jewish crime statistics as a way of stoking anti-Semitism.
Trump introduced a new government entity Tuesday that will similarly flag and highlight crimes by illegal immigrants - without, of course, providing any context about how many crimes they commit compared to U.S. citizens, or how illegal immigrants as a group might contribute positively to American society.
"The office is called VOICE - Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement," Trump explained. "We are providing a voice to those who have been ignored by our media, and silenced by special interests."

I used to be more a dick about this and at a certain point, I just realized it was better to say “I don’t know if I fully understand all of this or get anything out of it but I’m glad it works for you.” and move on.

Everyone who says this is un-American should probably read more into the history of the Salem Trials, lynchings and just the general history of public executions. This is very much just a return to old form in order to send a message.

What is very clearly going to actually happen is that Ellison will succeed entirely in knocking out key load-bearing parts of television, making it much much less resilient. Think about how reality tv was created in response to a writer's strike, how you can see exactly when it happened in series

Zionism is explicitly and materially a settler-colonial ideology, much like Manifest Destiny, Nazism, Boerism, etc. Israel's government, no matter what party leads it, is part of this ideology. If you want to be blind to the ideological base of this genocide then you're choosing to be ignorant.
